"The program had the best fit with Alberta Science curriculum [...] and corresponding lessons that did not require extra work by our teachers."

Workshop: "Energy Detectives" for the schoolyear 2002/2003.

The fun and interactive workshops took place in Canada and Germany from March until June and were catered to student representatives of different ages. Students learned about Energy Conservation at home and at their school as well as new technologies and green appliances that will lessen the impact on our planet in the future. The highlight for students was when they were able to measure the energy consumption of some common appliances found at school and detect some energy leeches! Students then measured the light levels of some rooms in their school and were able to determine some areas where they could increase their savings.

Participants were able to meet students from other schools and had a chance to win some cool door prices.
